FMPRO 10 Mt Lion problem: newly linked files won't open when clicked

Post

I decided to make the move to Mt Lion. My old data and linked files work fine. But when I created a new record containing a link to a PDF, clicking on the link doesn't open the referenced file in Preview. (I do briely see a beach ball cursor for less than a second.) Oddly enough, links created by this database under Snow Leopard continue to open properly in Mt Lion - only the links created under Mt Lion fail to open when clicked. I'm running FM Pro 10 Advanced.
Any ideas? Not in the mood to buy a new FMaker. THANKS!

I'm pretty sure it is a reference. I right click on the fleld and choose "Insert file ..." The file is stored outside the database; the database itself is only 3 Meg. The files are hundreds of Megs.

Update: well I was wrong. I missed that little checkbox in the file dialog that says store only a reference to the file. Wasn't used to having to check it. Hopefully it stays checked in the future! Many thanks!
